    That's only a very small portion of the mess btw.... Wheels and tyres grow everywhere for example :(

    Right lads, need a bit of advice

    The gtv appears to be fine mechanically after the mechanic checked it out but I've murdered the bodywork due to ****e carparks

    Spend the 800 my mechanics tame bodywork person has quoted and keep it or sell it on?

    How bad is murdered? If you were selling it what would you be looking for it? :D

    I was overtaking a learner driver this evening and he tried to stop me overtaking him by speeding up. I don't think driving instructors teach you this. He was doing about 80 on a 100 road and I just wanted to go faster than 75 :(

    Needed to rant :mad:

    I reckon you'd like a change :)

    You'd more than likely get a grand + for it, add that to €800 and the likes of (not this specific one but these in general).........

    Hey guys!
    Haven't posted in a while.

    Some sad news im afraid.... Lost my job a little while back and haven't been able to get work since. I'm almost out of money and its starting to look like I might have to sell pinky :(

    Ah no way, I'm so sorry to hear that golly. I know everyone says this, but the best thing to do is just go out and speak to the managers of different places and hand out a lot of c.v.'s. Also without trying to sound cheeky, I think a good thing to buy would be a bicycle, running cost 0 and great for exercise. it's a win win and it's great for going to the shops etc on also. I'm actually saving up for a BMX myself for college for next year. :)

    Paid for my insurance yesterday.

    Current insurer wanted €541
    Chill did it for €395.

    Gave the car a wash (again) as I was on a $hitty wet road behind traffic today, which resulted in me getting 60mpg though :P

    ah it's always tough to hear stuff like that golly, fear not, there's always work in pubs etc around Dublin anyway so with a small bit of experience you should be laughing. I work in the industry myself, if I hear anything I'll drop you a pm.

    Twould be a shame to see pinky go, maybe keep her off the road for a while? Good to see a positive attitude anyhow!

    Bah! Got some sort of rattle sound from underneath the Scooby. Does not sound like some bushing or suspension too. It's more of a tin rattle banging sound when driving on roughish road. Maybe some guard or exhaust shield rattling about... Really annoying
